So i live in maryland, and we just had that tropical storm hanna hit. So i was parked in the grass, backs on the grass, fronts on pavement, with my 99 ram 1500 5.2. It rains like 6 inches. I head out to leave for work..and the truck is about 2 inches deep sunk in the mud, no problem for a 4x4 right? HAHA

Being the know it all, I try 2wd first, in low. The second I take my foot off the brake in low, the tires spin and dig me in about 6 inches. So I stick it in 4wd low, figuring the front wheels will pull it out, nope. Just start spinning, barely touching the gas. Try rocking it, no luck, it was dug in about 9 inches...the exhaust was on the grass.

Just thought that would make some people laugh. At least it came out when it dried out a little.

After a couple minutes of going no where, turning wheels, rocking it, I just went wide open and it popped out of the mud. Thats why there are trenches all theway up the lawn..haha
